| phono interconnect -diy - mogami or van den hul The VDH uses silver plated copper and can sound literally like silver: bright, shimmery, pale yellow, sibilant. I use Jelco JAC501. I have tried others but this beats them. Very transparent and balanced. | |
| Sumiko BP Evo 3 vs Soundsmith Carmen 2 If you damage the exposed cantilever on the Sumiko, you are SOL. But if you need to replace the diamond on the SS in a few years time, it's small change. | |
| garrard vs clearaudio innovation Depends on the 401. An okay example in a hollow plinth on a credenza won’t cut it. But as @audiofun said, a tuned 401 is very capable. My Audiograil 401 in a slate plinth with Artisan Fidelity idler, PAC platter and SPH bearing is astonishingly go... | |
| My 1st Tube Equipment Experience It's normal enough to have louder digital. As long as your vinyl sounds good, don't get hung up on the difference. | |

| VM540ML cartridge - what phono preamp is a good match You may simply be getting more of The Truth from the transducer than you were. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Tom Waits & Crystal Gayle - One From the Heart (1982 CBS)Great album with some reference-grade songs. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Al Stewart - Past, Present & Future (1973 CBS)Fairground Attraction - The First of a Million Kisses (1988) Gem of an album. I played the US RCA and UK BMG versions expecting the American version to be an inferior version. Well the pressing was... | |
| VM540ML cartridge - what phono preamp is a good match Yes. Google 834 clone and read artofsound forum.DG tend to be a little "hot".If you can’t lower your Rega arm, try a 1mm shim between cartridge and headshell to change the VTA slightly. This can help tame the AT. | |
